THE HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL Previews
Apr 3 2024, 07:00:17 AM
I saw the show on a TDF ticket on T 4/2. I liked it a lot. Corey Cott looks good and sounds great. The story is easy to follow, the costumes are colorful, and the dancing all looks good.
The sound is especially good. It's NOT amplified to LOUD, LOUD, LOUD -- you're NOT ASSAULTED. You're entertained. All the leads and all the chorus have great voices. And they all sound good together -- the leads harmonize in duets a

Theatermania Gold Club

I'm in Theater Extras and the Will Call Club. Their selections aren't so great either. There's a lot of tourists coming into NYC who will at least pay half price at TKTS.
English imports, Black, Jewish, Spanish, and Gay on and off Broadway may show up. Plays and Musicals with dark staging that require a lot of thinking will show up. Everybody's got Wolf Den this week.
Big happy musicals that can be enjoyed by people who don't speak English won't b

TheaterMania Gold Club, Audience Extras, Play By Play
Jul 4 2015, 03:17:01 AM
WillCall club usually only has off-Broadway and off-off Broadway. AE has nearly every off-Broadway show sooner or later. I've been in Theater Extras for the past four years and its okay. Theater Extras has had tickets for music acts at Lehman College and Queens College, which I've liked.
I was in Play by Play but they kicked me out. I'm very fat. Some off-Broadway theaters complained about me not sitting in my assigned seat. I told PbP that they d

Director switching Cameras & Perspectives for video of On The Town
They switched cameras and perspectives too quickly for me. I think the model for photographing musicals for TV should be the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies, not MTV. When people are dancing, its better if we can see their full figure, feet to head.
The video selected to show us for GiGi was better.

TYouHE TESTAMENT OF MARY previews

Answering the query about Mary's dip into the bath on stage: I think it's supposed to symbolize a mikveh, a Jewish ritual bath.

Reply to -- Is it good for the Jews?
Not good, not bad.
Most of the producers are Jews. Most of the people in the preview audience paying full freight were lesbian couples.

I Loved HANDS ON A HARDBODY. I Mean, I REEEEALLY Loved This Show.
Apr 12 2013, 04:43:56 AM
I liked it too.
The premise of the story is so sad, tho. The cast sings and dances well, but they are portraying desperate people who really do need that car. I felt very fortunate to have my apartment here in NYC and use of the MTA after seeing the show.
Afterwards, I went to the Glass House, a bar right next door to the theater, where most of the cast came in for drinks and told them that I liked the show.

Testament of Mary -- Review of a Preview Performance
Apr 12 2013, 04:36:22 AM
The show was difficult for me to appreciate. It's a monologue written by Toibin for Shaw for a festival in Ireland that became a novel, which has now become a longer monologue. Before the play officially begins, the stage is open for the audience to walk on up to witness the statue of the Virgin Mary in a big glass box. Shaw's toughest acting is that -- she's motionless and really does look like a statue. Then the audience gets seated, audience lights go down, the glass box goes up, and
